Chapter 416: survivor

"What are we going to do now?" After a while, everyone rushed out of that out-of-control emotion, and the first officer walked to the old seagull and asked.
　　 "Turn around, let's take a look over there, maybe we can find something!" The old seagull was silent for a moment and ordered to everyone.
　　 heard the command, although the crew were somewhat reluctant, they still turned the bow of the old seagull, raised their sails, and drove in the direction of the huge island.
　　 The old seagull's boat traveled fast, and it didn't take much time to come to the area where the island fell. However, the sea was very calm, there was no abnormality at all, and I found anything useful.
　　 "Aren't those just the phantoms of the sea?" The first officer approached and asked suspiciously.
　　Old Seagull shook his head and said, "Have you ever seen such a sea illusion?"
For people who have been running on the sea all year round, the illusion of the sea is not a rare thing. Almost every sailor can encounter one or two times a year, but all the illusions of the sea they have seen are very illusory, unlike what they just saw. It's as real as it gets.
However, the reason why the old seagull judged that the scene was not an illusion of the sea was not his past experience, but after he carefully recalled it, he was almost certain that the island he saw and fell from the sky was his trip. The mysterious island of purpose.
　　 Judging from the scene just now, there must be something wrong with that mysterious island, so he would like to know what happened there.
　　Curious old seagull walked to the rudder, signaled the helmsman to give way, and then turned the rudder in this hand, driving the ship to the depths of the sea.
　　He didn't know what he was looking for when he entered this sea, but he always had a feeling that he would find something here.
　　 The boat traveled for about half an hour, and suddenly the people on the lookout yelled out a few words and then pointed in one direction.
　　 The old seagull immediately reversed the rudder and drove the ship, heading in the direction of looking at the finger.
　　 Soon after, the sailor standing on the bow of the boat shouted loudly, "Someone, there are people there."
　　 Hearing the shout, the old seagull handed the rudder to the helmsman beside him. He quickly ran to the bow and looked forward.
　　 I saw a person floating there in front of the sea, drifting with the waves, and it looked like the killed crew member. It's just that the sharp-eyed old seagull easily recognized that the person should not have fallen into the water for a long time. It was not the dead person who had been in the water for a long time and the body was soaked to expand many times.
　　 "Whether it is dead or alive, get him up first." The old seagull immediately commanded loudly to his men, and then looked at the man floating on the sea with doubt in his eyes. Although there is no basis, the old seagull still has a feeling that he is the one who insists on looking back and forth in this sea area.
　　 "I think something is wrong." The first officer stepped forward and looked at the man who was approaching on the sea, and said cautiously.
　　 "Why do you think so?" Old Seagull asked.
"He doesn't look like a man who has been in the water for a long time, but it seems that he has just fallen into the water." The first officer's sea experience is no less than that of the old seagull. He naturally can easily see the situation of the man on the sea, "This piece The ocean is not on any route, and the ocean current does not pass here. Even if it falls in the nearby route, it is impossible to float here, and just now..." said, he paused for a moment, did not finish his words, and said : "In short, this person appears strange, we should not easily get him up."
　　The old seagull did not use other words to obscure the first officer, but asked calmly: "Did you forget the rules of our seamen?"
　　The first officer opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, retired, and did his own thing.
For everyone who seeks life at sea, encountering a shipwreck is a matter of time. After a disaster, they naturally hope that they can encounter a ship and get rescue. No one will want to see a ship passing by. Don't extend a helping hand to yourself. Those who have not encountered a shipwreck also worry whether they will be rescued by passing ships when they encounter a shipwreck.
　　So, under the effect of this common worry, all people who seek life at sea will obey an unwritten rule, that is, as long as they encounter shipwrecks, they will spare no effort to rescue them.
Although this rule does not appear in the laws of any country, and no country recognizes the legality of this rule, the effect of this rule is far greater than any law in the world. It can be said that all sea people will Compliance, which also includes navies of various countries.
The most famous story about this rule of unconditional rescue at sea is a naval battle between the Sigma Kingdom and the Inge Kingdom. In that naval battle, a ship of the Inge Kingdom sunk an enemy ship, and then they followed The rules rescued the imperial navy soldiers who fell into the water. No other warships around attacked this warship. After the rescue of the navy of the Sigma Kingdom, they did not do anything like seize the opportunity, but honestly. Really be a captive.
　　Ten minutes later, the ship of the English kingdom was also sunk. This time it was the ship's turn to rescue the Sigma kingdom. Other warships stopped attacking this rescue warship.
　　 In such a sea battle in which five fleets participated, although the battleship suffered huge losses, there were few casualties, and none was because it was far from being drowned.
　　 So when the old seagull said this rule, no matter how much reason the first officer was worried, it would be impossible to say more.
The sailors on the boat skillfully rescued the victims from the sea. Although they were not able to judge the situation of the victims from a long distance like the old seagulls and first officer, they rescued the victims up close. It can still be judged that the victim should have just fallen into the water shortly, and it should appear to be alive.
"Let, let all, let's not stand silly here, don't you have to do anything? Now go and move back all the cargo that was on the bottom of the ballast." The first officer came over and shouted at the crowd, then Walking to the victim's side, crouching down, reaching for the pulse on the victim's neck. After feeling the strong pulse passed by the finger, he turned his head and nodded at the old seagull, then stood up Asked: "What now?"
The old seagull didn't answer immediately. He crouched down and searched the victims to find some odds and ends, but those items were just some commonly used items. There was nothing strange about it. Only one piece of ferry ticket caused him note.
　　 He picked up the stub of the ticket and looked at it, his face showing a surprised look, he couldn't help but even exclaimed.
　　 "What's wrong? Head." The first officer questioned.
　　 "Look." The old seagull handed the residual root of the ticket to the first officer.
　　 took the ticket and looked at it, and immediately showed a surprised look, and could not help but question: "He is the passenger on the Queen Mary who disappeared six months ago?"
"It should be." The old seagull nodded, and then he stood up and commanded his men next to him: "Move him to the guest room. When he wakes up, we will know what happened on the Queen Mary. "Then I quickly walked to the rudder and shouted towards the sailors on the deck: "Pull the sails up and we will return."
　　 "Oh!" At the command, all the sailors immediately became very energetic, swept away the dullness just now, cheered one after another, and ran to their posts to busy themselves.
Under the impetus of the wind, the big sailing ship Zhang Feng painted on the surface of the water. The shaking hull seemed to stand on the flat ground for the sailors on the boat. They balanced their bodies while singing loudly. Sailor song.
The old seagull standing next to the rudder looked at these passionate sailors with a rare smile on his face, but also a trace of sorrow, because he knew that this sailing ship would soon disappear from the sea, and Perhaps the ultimate destination of these sailors is the boiler room on those steam ships.
In fact, long ago, when he saw the steamboat, he knew that the era of sailing had come to an end, but he still retained a passion for sailing, and wanted to take advantage of sailing before completely withdrawing from the stage of history. Then enjoy the fun of driving a sailing boat at sea.
It’s just that he couldn’t have imagined that the steam ship was so fierce and so fast. In just a few years, the steam ship has become the mainstream of marine vessels. And in the past six months, with the increasing capacity of steam ships, There are very few sailboats on the sea.
Seeing this kind of scene, the old seagull was also tired for the first time in sailing. In fact, he didn’t tell his men that he was ready to wait for the medical school order to be completed before he stopped going to sea, and Sell ​​the boat and give the money to the men who followed him on the boat for many years, and also introduce some reliable work to them through the relationship he established in the past.
And he may return to his home in Sigma, stay in the study, and write his sea experience for so many years into a book. After all, he still bears the title of a best-selling writer, even if he has only written a book for so many years. Book only.
　　The time soon entered the night. Old Seagull handed over the matter to the first officer, and turned to prepare to return to his captain's room, writing what he saw and heard today on the captain's logbook. Only when he touched the door of the captain's room, he stopped again and turned to walk outside the cabin of the lower cabin.
　　The old seagull pushed open the cabin door and walked in. He familiarly picked up the lamp stuck next to the cabin door, lit it and lifted it, and took photos of the cabin.
　　I saw that the victim who was rescued during the day lay quietly on the bed, breathing heavily and long, and it seemed no problem.
　　 The old seagull was staring at the other party, frowning, and a little uneasy in his heart.
　　 In fact, he had the same concerns raised by the first officer, even now he felt the strangeness of the victim, and even had the urge to throw the victim back into the sea.
　　 "Who the are you?" said the old seagull to himself.
　　I don’t know why the old seagull thought that this person should be the person on that mysterious island, because he would fall into the water because of the destruction of the mysterious island.
　　 In fact, the old seagull has a secret about the mysterious island that has never been told to anyone, because he knows that the mysterious island is inhabited.
　　According to common sense, it is not unusual for an island to be inhabited. It should not be necessary for him to hide for so many years, but the problem is if the people living there may all be dead people?
Old Seagull remembers that he accidentally discovered the mysterious island, and took his men into the depths of the island to find useful resources. What happened when he and his men were attacked by inexplicable creatures, they had to flee In the end, he and his men separated, and after crossing a huge jungle, he came to a beach.
The scene of the beach has been deeply imprinted in his memory so far, because there are countless ships that are famous in the world of Velon, and these ships have been proved to be shipwrecked and sink to the bottom of the sea, without exception. And now the wreckage of these ships has piled up on this beach, which makes people feel very strange after reading it.
Even more weird is what happened later that night. He saw ghosts that night to let him know that the world is not as simple as he used to think, and he also saw traces of human settlement near the beach.
After leaving there, the old seagull had vowed that he would never approach this mysterious island again, but what he did not expect was that an extinct ancient badger would climb to his ship without his knowledge~www. EbookFREE.me~ Finally, a series of things happened, which caused a lot of pressure from the world to fall on him, but he had to board the mysterious island again.
In fact, during the day when I saw that the mysterious island fell from the sky, it collapsed and disappeared when it was about to fall to the surface of the sea. The heart of the old seagull was very happy, because so many people saw that mysterious island disappeared, they will definitely spread it, then He no longer has to be under pressure from all sides, and ran to the mysterious island to catch some ancient badgers.
But now the sudden appearance of the victim of Queen Mary made him feel that this might be another trouble, because the disappearance of Queen Mary in the Kingdom of England, the French Empire and neighboring countries was very special six months ago. As a matter of fact, countries sent many fleets to look around the route driven by Queen Mary, but in the end they found nothing.
There are rumors that the reason why countries attach so much importance to Queen Mary is that Queen Mary puts something very important to the Kingdom of England and the French Empire. All countries treat the Queen Mary as an ordinary passenger and cargo. Only dual-use vessels attach such importance.
Although the matter has passed six months, the search fleets of various countries have long been disbanded, and the outside world seems to have lost interest in the Queen Mary, but all this is based on the fact that there is no news on the Queen Mary. If a Mary If the news of the Queen’s surviving passengers spreading out, then it will inevitably trigger the upsurge half a year ago. By then, the old seagull, who is very familiar with the sea area, will certainly not be able to escape the result of being recruited by various countries.
　　 Thinking of this, the old seagull couldn't help but worry, and regretted the act of just handing over the root of the ticket to the chief officer.
